- It's been around for less than 2 years, but is ITVX beginning a downward spiral? Recent reports from ITV show that their paid subscriber count is dropping, could this be the first domino in something bigger...?

#itvx #dying #streaming
Because they want £6 a month for people to watch trash like The Kardashians.
But ITV is terrible now, either celebrity this or that, or crime dramas for old people. Literally nothing I'm interested in.
I'm old, but I agree. I hate crime dramas. If I want to see crime, I'll go downtown on a Saturday night
Never thought I'd see the day you end up in these corners,
but my gosh you nailed exactly what I, and I know so many others, feel too.
I know lol like stuff like the stupid love island!
I agree completely! Their only good show is The Chase and even then,I only see it when visiting my grandparents
Agreed. I don't see the point of watching TV at all these days. I find vacuuming the floor more interesting than watching TV.
This almost reminds me of ITV Digital for some reason.
Maybe they could throw in a free monkey 🙉 to keep the interest going in itvX 😂
1.They don't show enough from the ITV archives, such as a lot of programmes a lot of people have forgotten about. Such as programmes going back to the 1970s/80s. Such as Full House (UK version), also for example, Time After Time with Brian Conley. I'd love to see Bottle Boys again! 😉
2. Some of the Carry On films aren't HD. Well, they may not look HD because ITVX use far too much compression which is noticeable on virtually everything. It is the worst compressed streaming service I've ever come across. The compression needs to be the same as Netflix or Prime Video. Until something is done about that I'm sticking to DVDs/Blu-rays/Downloads. They shouldn't cut programmes like Bless This House either. Just put a notice up at the beginning. I prefer ITVs download service on Sky.
They shouldn’t have axed Citv or LittleBe then!
In it
@@starbeeplusnile3043And a new name for ITV in September.
Exactly
LittleBe was doomed to be axed years ago - same lineup of programming with barely any changes. (Mind you, only 3 shows debuted on the block this year, with one airing once. Once!) Not to mention it was barely advertised since its launch.
ITV and preschool content just do not mix.
@@nevocatedITV have refreshed the corporate logo
I used to have itvx for £39.99 a year until it leapt to £59.99. it is not worth the money.
ITVX doesn't really help by promoting Reality TV, i don't want to pay for low quality especially when there is better content elsewhere
The app goes black every time the ads come on. I have to press pause and unpause when the programme comes back on.
Can someone explain why the ITV-X site runs extremely slowly (far slower than any other app) on my smart TV? And to clear up a mystery: is it called X because it has brought back that white X-shape that a long time ago was seen between ITV's adverts?
It's a very clumsy app
I was scrolling down looking for anyone who thinks the app itself is to blame
ITV should reduce the soaps to 3 30 minute episodes a week and also reduce the national news at 6:30 to 30 minutes and also scrap the reality TV shows.
They are obsessed by news but this is the channel that scraped the news channel.
@@tobeycat2007 in 2005
@@tobeycat2007the 18:30 news is a bloated out episode of news, lots of fluff bits and advert time, it’s probably not much more than the 30 mins 18:30 News, which at times felt too tight for its time slot. What’s messed up itv is over doing the soaps for many years now and unfortunately they can’t maintain the quality nor the viewers of them as the programs are unrealistically whacky now. At least when Emmerdale and coronation street was 60-90 mins per week, it was quality programming.
ITV News (channel) being axed was a long and complicated affair that happened nearly two decades ago.
24 Hour rolling news is incredibly expensive to make; it’s an unforgiving money furnace.
@user-bv5lc1nf5dEven William Roache believes Ken Barlow exists! He once sued The Sun for calling the character 'boring'. Jessie Wallace also got a Daz (I think) advert banned for a character in it being too similar to Kat Slater. Bloody hell! Plagiarism is one thing but being sued for hurting the feelings of a fictional character is ridiculous!
I'll probably start using the app again if/when they add the regional broadcasts to the live TV feature. While it still isn't great for a streaming services subscribers to decrease, with ITV I could see ways of turning it into an advantage.
Too many reality shows not enough drama and comedy so I rarely use it..
If they would fix a lot of the issues with viewing
ITVX out with England, it would be half the battle.
As it stands, if you live in
Scotland , Nothern Ireland or Wales, it's really not worth subscribing to.
They only way to get around the issues is to use a workaround, but doing so means means I can't subscribe to premium even if I wanted to.
This doesn't shock me. The one person I know who uses the app has told me so many times how bad and broken it is
They are 100% correct it is a badly broken mess of an app, especially if you live anywhere in
The U.K. outside of
England.
I need to jump between
STV Player & ITV X depending on what is on.
I think a lot of streaming services are going to have problems. People are always going on about how people don’t watch live TV anymore or go to the cinema and it’s all about streaming but with the exception of Netflix nearly all of them are loosing quite large amounts of money.
The Fortune Hotel was a good show that I've watched on ITVX, and a new series will happen next year! Also Mr Bates vs the Post Office was amazing, Keep the ITVX app going.
Douglas is Cancelled was disappointing though. I watched it for Karen Gillan.....
Remember when ITV had original programming like the Prisoner and the Champions (decades before superheroes became popular)?
I agree I hope ITVX keeps on going I refuse to watch the main ITV1 channel because I think the channel is absolutely rubbish and I haven't watch ITV1 since 2018 I try to avoid the channel completely. I think ITV is run by people in management behind the scenes who don't understand the world of television or the entertainment industry and don't understand what audiences want to watch especially on prime time tv. Whenever I look at the tv listing for ITV1 I do so with a sinking feeling of dread for the channel because there is nothing worth tuning in for. If it hadn't been for soaps like Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Saturday night tv Ant and Dec I'm pretty sure ITV would have died as a channel, brand and company years ago. Even now there are signs of decline Helen Worth who plays Gail in Corrie is leaving the soap, I believe Ant and Dec are taking a break from the network. They tried out US quiz show Jeopardy earlier this year and that was an unmitigated failure I think getting Stephen Fry as quiz host was a mistake to me he sounded too posh and very dull. Not sure about Wheel of Fortune never watched it. It may have fared a bit better but I don't really think Graham Norton was the right host I think I read that the show was OK but need a new host. If I am going to watch a live ITV channel it would be ITV2 only for Family Guy and American Dad and occasionally Whenever Plebs is on. In my opinion I think ITV, the company, the brand and its programming needs a major over haul. Get rid of the management behind the scenes I they're destroying the whole ITV structure. Start with new on screen talent instead of the ones they've had for years they're becoming a bit stale and samey. Start putting money into making better shows people want to watch with better actors and on screen talent. Have less game and quiz shows with great drama and movies. Do that and I bet viewers will start watching the channel again. How they can recoup the money they've spent is getting more advertising and selling their shows to other broadcasters around the world.
I personally think the reason it is dying is because of the lazy programming now
I guess this shows something. I don't use ITVX but just because I don't watch ITV. I might be part of the problem. Still good that youre posting videos even during your busy period Adam.
For every one good program on live as shown TV there are 99 shows that are repeated or that people only have on as they want some background noise. Live as shown TV is dying as people want to watch on demand and not at a set time of day as they used to up to the mid 2000's. I've got thousands of DVD's all bought second hand for between 95p and £11. The Unit was a good TV series on CH5 as was the carry on films, Ashes to ashes and Life on Mars, JAG and NCIS.
I think "in general" the demographic of the main itv audience is, shall i say, diplomatically not Doctors, Lawyers or professionals. It's no surprise they won't in general pay for itv. 😊
OK so... CITV has been around since 1983 starting from their after school ITV block and later their standalone TV channel...
And just last year, ITV X Kids, replaced CITV as the TV channel got shut down...
And depending on how bad ITV X does, ITV X Kids might end up being outlived by what it replaced.
Hope itv x kids goes the same way then bring back citv tv channel.
@@SushiSunshine2000 in which case, ITV need a change of management, someone who will invest properly into kids programming!
If I were made ITV’s new boss tomorrow, I would:
- restore regional identities back to ITV1
- merge ITV3 and ITV4 into ITV Classics
- replace ITVBe and the channel slot left over from merging 3 and 4 with standalone Citv and Mini Citv channels
- bring on a whole slew of new in-house programming, including region-specific shows from small independent studios
@user-bv5lc1nf5dThey could air things on ITVX premium months before airing on ITV channels and free version.
@user-bv5lc1nf5dITV rebrands to I in the Autumn.
I'd say it was since the beginning of the year when people moving over from Britbox previously had over a year of having ITVX for the reduced price of £3.99 and then went over to the full price of £5.99 in January.
I kept it although some will have binge-watched all the old comedy and didn't think it was worth it after that.
ItvX subscriptions are NOT entirely ad free. A lot of US content still has ads. Annoyingly.
Yes! This is a real pain in the neck with it. We don’t get actual ads but trailers for other programmes on the service. There are only so many of these so watch a 6 part series say, or even a long film, and you start to get the trailers repeating. We’ve stopped watching stuff with these now, which is annoying when you are paying.
i used to subscribe when it was 3.99pm but not when it went up, not enough new dramas to justify. Also interface is clunky even after all this time; it doesn't remember what you've watched previously so hard to keep track what's new and sporadically wont even remember what episode you're upto in a series. They need to look at their pricing and how much better other services interfaces are.
I'm quite happy to pay for ITVX annually, same with Ch4. I've staggered them through the year, so I pay my TV license in one quarter, ITVX another, Ch4 a third, and then the last quarter is all the house insurance and other random guff that springs up towards the end of the year! Works out ok.
I will admit, though, other than Mum wanting to watch missed episodes of Corrie, or currently watching The Great House Giveaway timeshifted, that the ITV and Ch4 apps are actually mostly going unused. I might end up cancelling them, next year, if I'm honest.
I literally only use ITVX to exclusively watch Gerry Anderson programmes
I only have it because I'm waiting for them to add a certain series that hasn't had a full release anywhere
And what series is that? 👀
@@AdamMartyn Probably not the meaningful answer you were expecting, but The Raggy Dolls. There's a small group of people online all born way after the series ended (mostly born in the 2000s, including me) that are into the series and want to see the lost episodes found. ITV released seasons 1-4 on dvd from 2010-2011, and then they stopped for some reason. Season 5, half of season 6 and a couple of episodes from season 8 are still missing. I'm sure there are people who grew up with the series who'd want the episodes found too. My plan is to wait until it (eventually) gets put on ITVX, and if it gets the Button Moon treatment (for some reason being labelled under Britbox, meaning it requires a premium subscription) use the free trial I still have and saving some of the episodes.

@@AdamMartynThe Raggy Dolls. I know it ended like a decade before I was born, but I (as well as a small group of others mostly born in the 2000s) are fans of the series and haven't been able to see all the episodes because a huge chunk of them are lost media. Series 1-4 got DVD releases from 2010-2011, but they stopped before they could release anything from season 5 onwards.
The cartoon? Lol
Never used ITV X myself.
Streaming bitrate isn't the best either. Gives lots of artifacts as a result. Least iPlayer offers better quality up to 4K, and HLG on some content.
And not as laggy!
ITVX is very slow on my LG TV.
It only works properly on Fire TV sticks
Surprised only a few people brought up how bad the app itself is.
Same on my Bush TV. Why is it so slow?
I'm getting fed up of itvx I am itv1 don't seem to be the same anymore or the other channels it's all itvx and I'm not keen on the programmes they showing today
Tiny Pop relaunched
They dont have the Despicable Me movies anymore.
Netflix is the same
Which is why I always buy my movies. Streaming services are unreliable. Convenient but unreliable.
Despicable Me 4 is great! 👍
How about a video on the BBC losing 500,000 licences?
I think Adam deals with facts rather than getting his information from memes.
Do you have evidence for that claim?
@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xxIt's from their own annual report!
@@wokingjames Yes, so it does. Thank you.
@@davepoole9520 It's in the BBC Annual Report, published on 23 July.
Uh oh, this isn’t good. It’s ironic that I’m watching ITVX right now. Hope it doesn’t go on for too long. Excellent video.👍👍
The ads on the free one are so annoying because they repeat the same ones over and over
It's a bug.
That heppens frequently on Apple TV and Samsung TVs but rarely happens if you use a fire TV stick
It's shocking to me that they've never properly addressed those issues. - which are obviously known ones.
It's almost as if charging people for ad less streaming of shows you watch probably once is a turn off. HMMMMMMMM.
Are you going to make a video on Montengero possibly returning to Eurovision?
They promised we get to watch some of old retro progs and gradually got rid of more and more co tent and the.n started to charge us for it.
Its a genuine shame as itvx’ content is really good but its probably the least user-friendly service next to U!
that's because its over priced at £20 almost
Honestly doesnt help ITV in general rivals 5 for me as the traditional channel I watch the least. There's still the odd program plus the rare sporting event they have (I'll give them this Tyldesley and McCoist are probably the best current football commentary duo) but other than that, complete disinterest from me.
Or maybe no one what's to pay for channels that are Supposed to be free
Can you make the ident review on all the UKTV channels? (Owned by discovery inc. and bbc studios)
Does ITV realise how bad the app is on both Apple tv and Samsung TVs
It only works properly if you own a Fire TV stick
So unless ITV is willing to address THAT first
It works just fine on my Samsung TV
Preferred britbox
You need a VPN now
Don't fall for this man's nonsense
He's the same fool that said Ant& Dec are finished
Content wise it`s ok. I do find it`s abit jerky and cumbersome to use compared to other on demand/streaming services.
ITVx is awful, it’s glitchy and slow! I try to avoid it where possible!
Not remotely surprised 😂
Itv is dire, it’s only good for people that like drama
Better Bring Back CITV, ITV
DELETE THE COMMENT, IT'S ON ITV2
@@NowShut I was talkin bout the channel
They shut it down cause it could no longer compete
@@PelinalDidNothingWrongYep - it was a big white elephant; a banknote shredding service that pissed money out the sides.
It won’t be coming back 😂

A name change for all ITV channels has delayed to September.
Nice video Adam
Don’t use the service. So slow from what I have heard.
I don't mind using it some times till the series comes out on dvd as I a big fan of Vera, midsomer murders and other stuff like that I have all the stuff that got aired on a Sunday night on dvd Londons burning,the darling buds of may ,heartbeat,where the heart is,the royal, wild at heart,downtown Abbey,and the 2 series of the larking, like to buy all program's on dvd as on the box sets will have behind the scenes than watch and I have the new true life story's that itv make now

Why???
@@Tealstag789I am not surprised - this is the summer season, with parliament now due to end, and politics here in the UK at least will most likely take a short break - so News at Ten isn't exactly important for the late summer weeks.
